Florida State running back Cam Akers' workload to keep going up

Florida State running back Cam Akers has played in just one college football game, but the hype surrounding him is already sky high.

But he's not one to buy into it.

"The best thing about Cam is his attitude, demeanor, and work ethic," Fisher said.

"I really mean that. He is an extremely gifted guy, but he’s a great kid now."

Akers, the former No. 2 overall player in the 2018 recruiting class, led the team with rushing 30 yards on 10 carries and had one reception for 11 yards in the Seminoles 24-7 loss to Alabama last Saturday.

While those numbers may not look impressive, Akers made the most of what he was given.

“I thought he played well the other night with the reps he had and the things he did,” Fisher said.

“The atmosphere, I thought he handled it terrific. I thought he played really well. Was great with the ball. Caught the ball. I think he’s going to be an outstanding player. I really do."
